As part of the Keep Space for Peace week, the Invisibles visited the American Spy Base at Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire, making the invisible visible.
The base entrance was blocked, even if only temporarily.
Missile Defence is very much still on the US/UK Agenda but is largely unreported in the mainstream media.

on previous occasions we've been accompanied by many police including some on horseback and cycles along with countless vans - often banned from walking along the A59 - for our safety they said. *

I wonder if it's got anything to do with cuts to the police budget or the death of Ian Tomlinson, the newspaper vendor, at the G20 and the subsequent investigations.
